Godzilla, I am not against ethnic groups having their own gatherings. If ANA was a competent organization, it would have sufice. But all ANA does nothing but organize a gathering for drunks every year. If they had tend to sensitive issue of different groups this would not have happened. Another good example is the TAMU SAMAAJ OF BOSTON. They are doing a lot more to Nepali folks than the Ol GBNC. By that I don't mena just Tamu people... but all NEpal people. Be its cultural functions, supporting needy in all aspects like socially, economically, and emotional. Recenlt they joined hands with Sajha.com and Nepali Musicians to raise funds for two cancer patients who did not have insurance. MY POINT IS I DONT CARE WHAT LABEL THE ORGANIZATION BEARS.......IF THEY ARE HELPING NEPALI PEOPLE IN ANY WAY ..... END OF STORY.
